Rev_AK Posted April 19, 2023 Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 (edited) I think in our limited experience with the portal we all have learned one thing: silence is usually not good. The longer these commitments take, the more suitors can come in and make better offers. There was a lot of smoke On Twitter about Ledlum, Kneecht (sp) and Ware to IU. We got Ware, but I am not going to count on anything else until I see an official commitment. We do need some shooting, for sure. Panic mode? Probably not…….yet Edited April 19, 2023 by Rev_AK 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted April 19, 2023 Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 (edited) there was so much optimism a couple of weeks ago thinking we were about to get Ware, Ledlum and Knecht and only got one. Edited April 19, 2023 by IU Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really wanted him at IU I wanted the shooting and we need that bigger wing but I was always worried about his lateral movement and ability to defend. I’m confident we will find what we need.

IU Scott Posted April 19, 2023 Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 Hopefully there will be some new names come into the portal that can really shoot. Maybe the coaching staff thinks that guys like Banks, Gunn and Newton will be able to ay the wing position. That might be why we haven't seen many guys we are looking at that are guards or wings. I assume Knecht will go to Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for coaches too. They don’t just follow people they meet. On 4/17/2023 at 4:26 PM, Initial79 said: What? You said young kids follow everyone they meet. I see people say this a lot and it is not true. Just because he followed a couple doesn’t mean he is playing for all 3 teams smh. I know you are trying to be funny but a joke should at least make sense. it works other way too. For example, an assistant follows a player. They are interested. Then more assistants, the head coach, the team account etc follow them, that means they are higher priority. this is a known thing in the recruting world and have first hand experience. Does him following all those players and coaches mean he is 100% IU… no. But it for sure means it is really, really likely. Especially since he didn’t add a bunch from this weekend right after like he did IU. On 4/17/2023 at 5:45 PM, Initial79 said: Look, honestly, I doesn’t matter but you did start it by telling the other guy - sorry, that is wrong, they follow everyone they meet. all I did was point it out to you that is not the case and instead of saying, “yeah, good point, I guess he didn’t follow their entire team and staff and I am sure he met them.” You came back with another - guess he is committing to all 3 teams. People are quick on here to assume arguments. Not arguing. Trying to educate as someone who has lots of experience with this. You don’t agree, no worries from me. Wasn’t “arguing” 🤷♂️🙄😂 Hmmmmm 🤔🤔🤔 I came back because as much as I want to be an ass, I don’t want to be an ass. whole point of my original post is… don’t get too hyped over who followed who on the SM. An unfollow is easier than a follow.

Hoosier987 Posted April 19, 2023 Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 (edited) The staff prioritized Ledlum. This is a very tough blow. I’m not sure what our other options are…We’ve been very selective in choosing our targets instead of widening our net like an Arkansas…not saying we should be against the selectivity but you have to absolutely hit on the commitments if we’re going this route. Tough. Many poked fun of Arkansas for reaching out to so many transfers…well they have a top transfer class and almost assuredly will be a top ten team after losing 1/2 their team. Where do we go next? Edited April 19, 2023 by Hoosier987 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierdave Posted April 19, 2023 Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 Just my 2 cents but if I’m on the staff I’m calling Asa and Liam and seeing if either would reclass. Not getting the sense we are in good shape with anyone else in the portal currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted April 19, 2023 Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 (edited) Whatever amount of NIL money had been allocated for Ledlum can now be re-directed to another player. Hopefully that’s appealing as we pivot. Edited April 19, 2023 by BobSaccamanno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
